A few issues from the world of Technology 1. Today, San Francisco could be the first US city to ban the use of facial-recognition technology by police and government departments. What do you think about this? Should facial-recognition technology be banned everywhere? Are there times when it could be helpful? Explain. https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/14/tech/san-francisco-facial-recognition-ban/index.html 2. Amazon Echo has an Echo Dot designed just for kids. However, privacy groups are asking the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate the device with concerns about children's privacy. Should there be concern for these devices that "listen" - especially with children? Explain. https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/09/tech/amazon-echo-kids-ftc/index.html 3. The Supreme Court ruled that consumers can now sue the Apple App store for creating a monopoly for apps. (A monopoly exists when one company has singular exclusive control over a product or service - specifically, you can only get apps for your iPhone on the Apple App Store - there's no competition. You can only get Apple apps on the App Store). Apple argues that they help make sure the apps are of good quality. Should companies like Apple be able to "make" users get apps and content from their ONE source? Explain. https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/13/tech/apple-app-store-supreme-court/index.html Comments are closed.
